details

Professor Nishiyama, after studying and interpreting the prophecies of Nostradamus, realizes that the end of the world is at hand. Unfortunately, nobody listens to him until it is too late. As the effects of mankind's tampering of the earth - radioactive smog clouds, hideously mutated animals, destruction of the ozone layer - rage out of control, the world leaders hurtle blindly toward the final confrontation.

This film looks like someone's nightmare placed on film. It skillfully weaves weird disastrous futuristic events into the lives of a family of protagonists while at other times reducing them to absent observers of a world gone wild. The film has all the peculiar logic in a manner that makes sense within the dream, but has no narrative logic. The only real story to this film is that Professor Nishiyama believes in the prophecies of Nostradamus, both describing and witnessing future events.
